Seeing that Zhou Miao really didn't recognize her, Pei Yunxi suddenly felt a little frustrated.
She had originally thought that once she made her appearance, the other person would be greatly shocked by the changes she had undergone over the years and would then pursue her relentlessly.
Even in the worst-case scenario, Zhou Miao would recognize him and be extremely enthusiastic towards him, making him regret his past neglect.
But... it turned out to be completely different from what I expected?
"We were classmates in college. You were three years ahead of me. You helped me out once, but when I tried to contact you later, you ignored me."
Pei Yunxi spoke these reminders weakly, especially the last sentence, which involuntarily carried a hint of resentment.
After she mentioned it, Zhou Miao actually remembered it.
He broke up with his ex-girlfriend when he was about to graduate. Because of her, he kept his distance from all pretty girls.
Moreover, he didn't have time to care about love and romance at that time; his biggest worry was work.
"I vaguely remember you wearing glasses back then. You've changed so much over the years, how could I possibly recognize you right away?"
Seeing that he remembered, Pei Yunxi perked up: "Then how much do you think I've changed?"
"She looks much prettier, that's why I didn't recognize her."
That expectant expression—isn't it just that she wants to be praised? Zhou Miao's mindset is different now than before, so she said what she wanted to hear.
When praised by someone she had a crush on for a long time and still cared about, Pei Yunxi couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
The initial disappointment vanished instantly, leaving only joy.
"Senior, it's been a long time! How about we get together tonight? My treat."
After speaking, Pei Yunxi stared intently at him, trying to discern any change in his expression.
Her main purpose in making this suggestion was to get to know Zhou Miao's character and personality through a meal.
In the years since graduation, she has matured a lot. Even though Zhou Miao is her ideal man, she will first understand his character before deciding whether to get to know him.
She never imagined that her enthusiasm and initiative would make Zhou Miao a little wary.
"Maybe next time. I've cooked dinner at home. I'll treat you next time when you're free."
He refused without hesitation, as if he was afraid the beautiful woman would drug him and then cut off his kidney.
"Okay..." Pei Yunxi naturally saw through his wariness and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.
This familiar scene feels somewhat familiar.
"Then I'll go back first." Seeing that she was still blocking his way, Zhou Miao had no choice but to jump ashore from the side and then quickly go home.
"There won't be a next time, right? You didn't even ask me for my WeChat ID." Looking at his back, Pei Yunxi gritted her teeth, feeling like she was about to explode with anger.
I never expected that after so many years, I would taste that same feeling again. Is it because I'm afraid she'll forget?
But just as Zhou Miao's figure disappeared from sight, Pei Yunxi suddenly smiled again: "Although you're a bit darker than before, you're still the same person I remember."
She turned around and admired the scenery of the fish rafts. She liked the scenery and thought it would be good to stay a little longer.
Pei Yunxi took out her phone, bought a group ticket for Tingtao Fishing Raft, and then contacted Luo Qianqian, saying that she was at the pier and wanted to go to the fishing raft to experience it that evening.
When she arrived in Nanzhen, she had already booked a hotel room and left her luggage there, so it wouldn't interfere with her sightseeing.
Luo Qianqian, who was about to leave work, tried to persuade customers to come back tomorrow, saying it would be more cost-effective.
After several attempts to persuade him, the customer insisted on coming, so he could only reluctantly go to his brother: "Brother, a customer placed an order and insists on coming now. Should we serve him?"
Luo Hao, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, popped his head out: "Go ahead and take it. Why not take it if there's money to be made? Go and bring the customer over, I'll cook a couple more dishes."
"Okay!" Luo Qianqian pouted. Although she didn't want to work overtime, there was nothing she could do about it.
Normally, she doesn't get off work until 8 p.m.
There are usually no customers during the day and hardly any at night, so she can eat dinner here and leave work immediately.
She arrived at the dock in her small boat, which was used to pick up customers, only to find that there was only one very pretty young woman there, which surprised her greatly.
"Hello, is this the boiled chicken wings?" Luo Qianqian asked with a strange expression.
When she saw the name on the order, she thought it was a man!
"Yes, that's me." Pei Yunxi nodded, then stepped onto the boat. "I've watched your live stream. I happened to be in Nanzhen today, so I thought I'd come and visit your fishing raft."
"Oh, I see. Welcome, Miss." Luo Qianqian said, then took out a life jacket and handed it to her. "Please put this on first, Miss."
Pei Yunxi nodded, put on her life jacket, and sat down next to Luo Qianqian.
The small boat started slowly, and the evening sea breeze felt very comfortable on her face.
After a while, they entered the area of the fish rafts.
Pei Yunxi looked around curiously, trying to find the fish raft that Zhou Miao was renovating, but most of the fish rafts here were already in operation, and occasionally she could see abandoned and useless fish rafts, but she couldn't see any under construction.
There was nothing they could do; Zhou Miao's fishing raft was the furthest out!
A few minutes later, Luo Qianqian steered her small boat to a stop at her own fishing raft: "Welcome to Tingtao Fishing Raft, Miss, we can disembark now."
""
Pei Yunxi nodded, and as soon as she stepped onto the fish raft, she smelled a delicious aroma of food: "It smells so good! Are you having dinner?"
"Considering that you might not have eaten yet since you're arriving at this time, we've prepared dinner for you."
"Really?"
"That's definitely true. Come on, let's try my brother's cooking. He's the best cook around here. My friends often bring ingredients over for him to cook."
Pei Yunxi licked her lips. She had been packing her things in a hurry to catch her flight today, and she was indeed hungry.
So they followed Luo Qianqian to the dining table next to the kitchen and sat down.
Luo Hao knew the customer had arrived, so he brought out two dishes to greet him.
To his surprise, the woman who arrived was such a beautiful young lady that he was momentarily stunned.
But it was so beautiful that he quickly came back to his senses and didn't have any extra thoughts about it.
If it were someone of above-average appearance and slightly older, he might have some ideas.
Although Pei Yunxi ate with them, she was very careful and only ate the dishes that Luo Hao and his sister had eaten.
Only after confirming that everything was alright did she feel relieved and begin to enjoy the delicious home-cooked dishes.
Meanwhile, Zhou Miao and Lu Xingyu, the siblings, were also having dinner.
"Xiaoxiao, you posted a video today?"
"Brother Miao, you saw it?"
"Hmm, it looks pretty good. But didn't I say I'd post it when the fish raft renovation was halfway done?"
"Qianqian said we can post more videos, and the more videos we post, the better the promotional effect will be when we spend money on it."
"I see! She is indeed more experienced in this area. You can learn more from her in the future."
When Zhou Miao returned home that evening, he immediately started watching the video posted by Lu Xiaoxiao.
He saw his face appear in the video, but he didn't care.
When Lu Xiaoxiao first started learning these things, she asked him if he minded showing his face, and Zhou Miao naturally didn't mind.
He definitely doesn't have the patience to do video promotions or live streams, but he doesn't mind appearing on camera.
Whether it's a handsome man or a beautiful woman, they're always more attractive than other ordinary videos.
